The crest was lower than the projected 27 feet, and the river began to recede in the afternoon. It was at 25 feet around 9 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. A flood warning remains in effect through 2 p.m. Sunday.

Flood stage is 24 feet, and the high river waters caused the closure of Poseyville Road as well as some streets in the city of Midland. The NWS expected the river to drop below 24 feet on Sunday morning.
